The Original Tremont Tearoom

Every time I visit Boston I make a point to come to the Tremont Tea Room. The readings are as good as the $ 200 NYC psychic readings I’ve received and for a quarter of the price. All of the psychics are extremely qualified and their abilities vetted in order to work at the Tea Room. I advise during the visit to take notes to reference later (or record on your phone)– you’ll be blown away by how much of it comes true over time. Because I used to live in Boston, I’ve had the pleasure of trying out four separate Tea Room psychic over the course of four years. You can’t go wrong! This review has been a long time coming!
A good psychic reading will give you accurate predictions on the topics you wanted guidance on and enhance your ability to understand the big picture– a great psychic reading will also pick up on the little vignettes, the brushstrokes of that bigger picture that are seemingly insignificant… those fleeting instances that sneak up on you and string together your life’s narrative. They give you the gift of appreciating the present moment’s spontaneity and savoring the beauty of life.
I had my first reading here in summer of 2011 with Pamela. Not only were her broader predictions true, but she had a very specific vision of an important moment that would happen with my grandmother that she described in great detail, but the context was murky. She was looking off into the distance and her eyes were scanning back and forth back and fast– as if she was watching the situation play out. Six months later, in very spontaneous circumstances, that exact vision played out exactly how she described! It became clear why, as an intuitive empathic, that vision stood out to her for its emotional impact.
I have also met with Kimeo and the owner Alex Palermo. Their readings are very informal and engaging– lots of useful information that in retrospect came true. They’re not afraid to tell you something you may not want to hear (ex. a relationship won’t work out). Alex had an excellent read on my energy– that my thoughts were consumed by a situation and he was honest that it clouded his read on other topics relevant to my life. Regardless, he was still able to give me plenty of information regarding career, a potential move, relationships, etc. Their readings give you a better understanding of how to tap into your own intuition and empathic abilities. They also have helped me realize the potential for multiple destinies– it’s up to you to choose your path and see your destiny through to manifestation.
I advise you go to your reading when you are feeling mental clarity and open energy for the best, most thorough reading possible– you will get the most out of it. I can’t emphasize it enough– you can’t go wrong with any of the psychic at the Tremont Tea Room. You’ll get something out of every reading.
Looking forward to going back soon!

I spoke to Alex yesterday regarding some personal decisions I was facing. To be honest, I really just wanted confirmation that I was thinking things through and making the right choice. Alex described me perfectly, he was able to tell me exactly where I was in life and how I got there. He gave me good feedback, confirmed what I knew and gave me guidance. I loved his demeanor and I felt as if he was very in tuned with me and was honest. He even mentioned things about my family and friends that no one would have known.
Thanks!

Alex’s reading totally match with my situations and is very helpful for me to consider what to do in the future. Thanks.

I’ve been a customer of the Tearoom for a number of years, and have met with several psychics in person, last night was my first telephone reading and I was not disappointed! I read so many positive reviews of Alex on Unilocal,so I figured I’d go directly to the source and make an appointment with him; he was amazing and insightful. Right off the bat he told me very specific things about my livelihood and current situation. He was very enthusiastic and provided great advice. He was also extremely positive and funny, he was suffering from allergies and was a bit stuffed up and sneezed a few times, but this didn’t break his spirit, as he was laughing throughout the reading, which made me much more comfortable. I would definitely make an appointment with Alex again, hopefully in person, when they open again in August. Thank you!

Kimeo Carr provided a phone reading for me. Going into the reading I was feeling very vulnerable and hesitant. As soon as he began to speak a sense of calm came over me and I knew that I could trust in him and his abilities. That trust was not betrayed. He provided me with guidance and brought things to light that I hadn’t shared with anyone. I gave this review a month to write as I wanted to see what events would play out. Kimeo was right on with his direction and guidance. It is clear to me had I taken the path I so wanted to take things would not be as good as they are for me right now. He was able to speak to both areas of my professional life and relationship. I appreciated his candor and true sense of interest in me.

Today I had a phone reading with Kimeo Carr, a highly intuitive person. During the first minute, he mentioned some facts that are only know by immediate family. That surprised me! The phone reading was on target with so many things. It gave me food for thought, made me aware of some changes I should consider making and provided me with realizations about certain situations. I’ve had in-​person readings at the Tremont Tearoom over the years, but Kimeo was so amazing. He shared the good and the bad. I definitely intend to make a future appointment with him.

Very accurate and insightful.

Not sure why Alex gets bad reviews. I had my first reading with him this past week (phone reading as they are not yet open in a new location). He was so personable, funny and overall made me feel good. If I did not understand something he said he gladly explained it to me. One thing he told me came true already! I can not wait for the new location to open so I can have my cards read in person and meet Alex!

I’m a skeptic by nature, though I really did go into my tarot reading with an open mind. I was thinking that there are some universal maxims in even the daily horoscope. So why not give it a whirl and see if I can glean some very general advice? Wow, what a sucky tourist trap the experience turned out to be.
Three «highlights:»
1. If you’re «psychic,» or even just attuned to others, you should probably not ask me how I’ve been since the last time you read for me (we’ve never met, I’ve never been to a tarot reading, and I’ve never been here).
2. One should probably stay clear of making predictions about death. Not only are you bound to be wrong, but false hope is very dangerous to people who might be grieving. Psychics are supposed to entertaining and sympathetic — not defy medical science. (Thank God I have some common sense and I don’t put too much stock in rubbish «predictions.»)
3. «Try online dating.» Wow, thanks for the dime store advice! Truly you are gifted geniuses!
Bonus: Thanks for saying I’m «not emotionally deep,» that I «attract disappointment,» and for generally making me feel like a piece of s***. «Do you worry about ruining peoples’ lives?»
If I wanted to feel like a piece of crap, I’d just pay someone $ 120 to kick me in the stomach. And it would probably feel better.
And no thanks, I won’t be back. Given the terrible behavior of your staff, I’m interested in nothing less than a refund.

A LOT of Curtis’s reading came true. And the things that did take place happened when he said they were going to happen.

I’m sorry but Alex’s responses to people on here are hilarious! Alex is very friendly and not afraid to speak his mind. I love Alex, have probably spoke to him 4 – 5 times, and recommend him to everybody. I think Alex is great for leaving honest responses on reviews! Alex is not god he doesn’t have all the answers but he will still blow you away and he does the best he can. That being said, he has still never been wrong yet. I’ve had skeptics call him and not be skeptics anymore. It’s worth every penny!

Colleen is so gifted; I’ve never had a person know so much about me who’s never even met me. She’s a wonderful channel as well and brought me messages from my grandmother. She gave me the pep talk I’ve been needing for a long time!
And as a long time customer I have always been happy with Alex. He’s had insight that I can recall back years after a reading. He is a strong personality that maybe some others who have left reviews couldn’t handle… he’s a great businessman and is always fair about quality of service.
The Tearoom rocks!

I had a reading with Alfred. He was a good psychic. I ask two topic and he did a good job interrupting my confusing tarot cards. He did look at my palm too but he wasn’t too sure about my lines but he did a good job reading the cards.
It was a good reading. I wish I had more answers but i guess my future itself is not certain about what it should be hahaha.
Note: I would recommend taking any reading with a grain of salt. :)

I made an online appointment w/​Alex and got a confirmation back through the email yesterday. I called today at 12 which is when I booked for the appointment, Alex said he has a client and will give me a call back in half hour. It’s understandable that he has to see other client although my appointment was that time. I waited and waited and he never called back. I had to call back again in 1.5 hours to cancel the appointment to get my refund back and received no apology. Although he is a psychic, but it’s still a business. The least they can do is to call back and reschedule instead of making people who made appointments wait and wait to accommodate people who walked in. I felt this is extremely disrespectful of people’s time and people should look elsewhere.

This review is about my reading — not the price or the chairs or the fact that I didn’t see tea anywhere.
I am going through an interesting time in my life and was looking for answers to some BIG questions.
I met with Alfred and I was impressed right away because as he was shuffling the cards one jumped out and instead of putting it back into the deck he put it on the table. That one card, the one that had so much energy at the split second it jumped out of the deck, and the discussion that flowed from it taught me more about myself and my place in the universe than I was expecting. It wasn’t a traditional tarot card reading. It was bigger than that. It was BIG.
I don’t want to reveal too much but Alfred affirmed something I’ve known about myself for a long, long time but have had the courage to act upon. Today is the day I start acting upon it. I want to be clear about something: I do not take orders from readings. My reading was the tipping point that gave me the confidence I needed to start this new adventure.
My only problem is that I want to go back again next week but going that often isn’t healthy. I need time to think about what I learned yesterday before I go back for a 30 minute or longer discussion.

I was considering spending my money here until I read the extreme unprofessional responses from «Alex P — of Tremont Tearoom» to the people unsatisfied with this business. I won’t even consider coming here now after reading his reactions on Unilocal

And of course the juvenile owner left a rude comment on my review Why improve your business when you can just act like a 10-​year-​old? First off it makes MORE sense to review a reading 6 months to a year later to see if anything came to true. Secondly if every other person is saying you’re rude and an a-​hole chances are you are. Get over yourself. It’s not my fault you’re belligerent and not good at what you do. Take some responsibility and act like a grown up.

Alex was eerily accurate on most points — not 100%, but enough for a reading to be worth every penny. I waited until now, nine months after my reading, to write this review, because only time would tell if his predictions were legit. So far, so good.
He started off our thirty-​minute session with an astrological chart. I may believe in psychics, but not really astrology, so I started to glaze over… at which point Alex said, «Oh, honey, I know you’re heartbroken. We’ll get there.»
I would’ve been impressed at his psychic abilities, except that the expression of complete despair on my face may have tipped him off.
Alex began the reading by building a foundation of trust: he told me facts about my past and present before giving me his predictions about the future. If he could prove that he knew what I already knew, then it would validate what he had to say about my future. I am absolutely convinced that he could NOT have known these things unless he had true psychic abilities. Things I’d never told anyone, in explicit detail. Physical appearances («Anne Heche type but with longer hair» made me laugh and was totally true), names of small towns on the other side of the continent, uncommon names/​uncommonly spelled names.
I didn’t expect that level of detail to be possible. NOW I’m impressed.
The predictions he made that don’t quite «fit» could be for a number of reasons — perhaps I interpreted what he said incorrectly, or maybe he was just a little off, e.g. a single letter difference in the name of a person who otherwise fits. (Or maybe I haven’t given it enough time yet but eventually it will make complete sense.)
A psychic reading is whatever you make of it, and I felt like I got a lot out of what Alex gave me. He calls himself an «empath,» and you can really sense that when he reads you — he feeds off of your energy. He is the Real Deal in a world rarely taken seriously, and his high recommendations are well-​deserved.
Now to see whether or not my sister lapses into a coma this year…

I was a first-​timer receiving a reading like this. I booked Curtis Dean based on all of his fantastic reviews. (They have a great online reservation system that makes picking a psychic and finding a time that works super easy). Curtis was extremely personable, easy to understand, and patient to explain in more depth when I needed clarification. I will definitely book him again in the future.
A few tips for beginners like me:
— 30 minute reading seemed like the perfect amount of time since I needed a little more explanation than normal.
— Bring cash to tip your psychic. I paid with a credit card and realized too late that I didn’t have cash to tip. Will have to double next time!
— Have some questions prepared. Curtis asked if there were certain people or life events I wanted more detail on. Even though I wasn’t prepared to focus on anything in depth– he made suggestions. Probably would have been more valuable if I had some ideas prepared.
— Use your phone to record the session to refer back to it or share with friends/​family. A great tip from Curtis who showed me how to use the voice memo app on my iPhone.
Really looking forward to my next reading!

Feeling a little lost in my career and love life, I’ve decided to be a little adventurous and buy a Groupon for a reading. Please note that this is for a discount off the reading, so you’re expected to shell out more cash upon getting there for a 30 minute reading. How did I find this out? The receptionist so rudely annunciated the terms of the Groupon (–1 star) and she’s generally not very nice and neither am I retarded.
When you go get a reading, you expect to find out what’s up not more about your own personality. I know about myself already, I want to know the future! Did I get that? Nope. Just a really bad cold reading and a bunch of BS.
